Reviewer comments
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the new OnWord
Press book entitled GIS: A Visual Approach by Bruce Davis is packed
with unwritten words."--Gary Smith, Green Mountain Geographics, Ltd.

From AEC Automation Newsletter, June 1997:
[The author does]...a great job of explaining GIS without requiring the
reader to have a technical background...[The book] focuses on explaining the
technology without jargon and with many diagrams and pictures. The author wrote
the book in a way that even non-native English speakers should pick
up the technical fundamentals without much trouble.

Many of the diagrams and pictures are supplied [available from the
publisher] on accompanying diskettes for computer display, printing, or
slide making. [This book is]...an excellent GIS primer...
